^ I haven't seen that movie since it was first released, but that skit has remained clearly in my mind ever since.
I just saw Tinsley Ellis play a show last night, and he told a story about B.B. King playing a show for teens which he attended as a 15 year old, and how B.B. stayed after the show to meet the kids and chat/pose for pictures/sign autographs for "what seemed like a couple of hours" and how unbelievably kind and gracious he was. He also said that, as a young musician, "everything sort of fell into place for me after that." I got to see B.B. a couple of times, and although I never got the chance to meet him, I got the impression that he was a class act both on and off the stage. R.I.P. |

Ross Dawson, drummer for Late of the Pier. RIP. Anyone know exactly what the "tragic accident" was?

Friday I believe? They haven't said how he's died, it's just labeled a tragic accident. Car accident perhaps. Isn't their debut record fucking stellar though? It's so sad, I always wanted them to make another album.

F*ck the Turnpike.
Also, wear your f*cking seatbelts people. It's the easiest thing to do that will save your life. Honestly can't understand how a mind like that could choose not to wear one while another person whom he doesn't know is behind the wheel. Boggles my mind. |
